Cassandra users looking to make their lives easier might benefit from using Cassandra on Apache Mesos. This recent post from the Mesosphere blog provides a complete tutorial on how to get started, arguing that while Cassandra on Mesos is a newer port, the two technologies are a great fit for each other because of Cassandra’s peer-to-peer architecture. The Mesosphere tutorial covers the basics and on, including:

Reasons to use Cassandra and Mesos
How to deply Cassandra on Mesos
How to run CQL queries through Mesos
How to scale your database

Check out Mesosphere’s full tutorial to get started. They’ve provide quite a few other Mesos tutorials  as well, covering topics such as Hadoop, Spark, and Chronos.
